Since the conception of the Kirtilal Manilal Mehta Trust in 1966, we have engulfed ourselves in aiding the backward socio-economic community. The love held for uplifting society led the Trust into adopting 108 rural villages, where we fostered self-reliance and independence to as many people as we could reach, under the ‘Food for Work’ program.
Developing key areas of growth, we ensured education for the youth, set up health camps for 1,500 villages in the surrounding area, and provided vaccinations to children, and immediate assistance to those who needed it. Built on locals’ knowledge of agriculture, animal husbandry, employment, self-employment, social forestry, craft development, and extended food incentives in exchange for work. We empowered these villages and stood by them for 5 years until they could thrive on their own.
